How will I redirect their attention to the LORD’s leadership?
Wow! This is a really excellent question. We want people to do what we want or think is right, so I like this framing. Really interesting as we read Judges & see Israel’s spiral out of control under poor leadership.
Your comments remind me of John the Baptist deferring those who would have called & followed him as the Messiah to instead watch for the One Who is greater than I-- the Lamb of GOD, JESUS.

Indeed!
Gideon models clear, wise, humble faith grounded leadership here.
